Its not an excuse its a fact, that is why islam isnt the same thing every where, the same way christianity isnt the same thing everywhere, the kurds have a different culture and traditions, then the arabs for instance, and so on and so on, , it's
ing elementar.
What is born of ignorance is making assumption that religion came first, and not the bad treatment of women, the stonings, the genital mutilation and all that barbaric things, that are thousands of years older then islam itself, Religion can be a vehicle for this things or not as its part of ones culture, they might not be divorced, but they might not mean the same thing, as not every muslim as the exact same behavior, this is
ing basic, to someone with a enough level of intelligence, thinking otherwise, is actualy
ing insulting to ones intelectuality.
Chatolicism, or christianity today is very different then it was in the 14th century, otherwise, we would still have burning of witches, and jews in Iberia. So yeah blame it on religion, or blame it on what the people make of it at any given time, your choice.
But the funny side is, you know, you are on the right track, when some one decides it on their own acord to label you right from the start.
If it is liberal or not, it is irrelevant, and i dont care, because its the reasonable way to look at it.
